Jackson County lakes and campgrounds not affected by Federal Government shutdown

Jackson County officials are reminding citizens and patrons that all county lakes and campgrounds will remain open and are operating normally. None of these areas have been affected by the shutdown of the Federal Government.

The land at both Blue Springs and Longview Lakes is leased to Jackson County by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Operations of the lakes and campgrounds are handled by staff with Jackson County Parks+Rec.
